AN ENTRANCING SIGHT.

The mountain cone that had five minutes
before been shroudcd in a whilling Storm
cloud now stood bright and clear against tfle
bluest sky that one can see anywhere in
America. On the other side the fury OF the
storm, made darker by the brightness of be
sun, moved away to the east In five n.a-
utes the mountain trail was dry enough Tor
good walking, although the drif5 OF hail
stones remained in places for half an hour
longer But the storm had come and gone
and the party followed it down the old trail
toward Manitou. Coming to the point where
the road turns TO give an unobstructed view
of the plains below, the leader stopped with
the exclamation: Look at that"
Below him were the plains with Colorado
City and Colorado Springs in the distance and
Manitou in the foreground, but not as any
one had ever seen them before Sweeping
over the wide extent of country visible from
this elevated point was the storm that had
left the mountain clad in crystals Below it.

RAILROADS AND FORESTS.

Bulletin No. l from the forestry di-
vision of the Department of Agricul-
ture, has been issued and given to the
country and, among other things, gives
much valuable information in regard to
the relations the railroads bear to
forest supplies of the country. While
giving the railroads full credit for their
| just share in the development of the ma
terisl resources of the country, the facts
are clearly pointed out that this develop
ment has been at vast expense to the
timber supply of the country. 1t is esti-
mated by government experts that the
wasteful manner in which rail-
road timber has been obtained
in the last fifty years, that 100, 900, 900
scres,or one-fitth of all the country's for
est lands have been denuded and, judg-
ing the future by the past, twice that area
will be required to furnish timber for the
railroads in the next fifty years. Besides
what timber has been consumed in con-
structing and equipping railroads, the ex-
tension of these highways has brought
within reach of the markets OF the world
distant forest areas, where to make lum-
beripg profitable only the choicest grades
were selected, leaving the less desirable
grades to rot N useless waste. The
pamphlet is filed with interesting data
and will be read with interest and
profit by those who have the
interests of the country q heart,
and not without alarm by those who have
give the question of our forest supplies
serious attention. The introduction of
Iron or metal ties is strongly urged as 8
means of economizing the timber supply
and the wisdom and necessity of arbori-
culture dilated upon Intelligently. Not
only are individuals urged to plant trees |

Somerven County Indictments They
Would Marry-New Paper.
Special to the Gazette.
CLEBURNE, TEX, Oct. 17.-Parties here
from Somervel county report that the
grand jury, which has just adjourned, re-
turned three indictments for rape and
one for assault with intent to fape.
Mr.. Sam Louis, who has been clerking
for W. 81. Rice, and Miss Stella, daughter
of Mr.. Rice, were married yesterday. 1t
seems that the young people had for some
time been in love and their engagement,
with parental consent, followed, and the
day fixed some months hence. The young
people, however, growing impatient OF
the delay the youth Saturday night pro-
cured license from the County Clerk, and
on yesterday on the plea that they would
attend church in the country proceeded
to Prices chapel, where they were united
in marriage.
a new monthly magazine of 16-quarto
pages OF reading matter, will be issued
within few days by w. F. Wells & Co.
The periodical will be printed on fine
book paper, stitched, covered and
trimmed. 1t is to be devoted specially to
the propagation and defence of the doc
trines and principles of Christianity SIS
held by the Baptists, but will also give
place to select literature, science, etc
Mr.. Wells is an old newspaper man, and
will doubtless make success out of his
new publication.

THERE is another hitch in the telegraph

THROUGH the gloom of years comes q
CLEAN of light to Poland. Germany finds
that it is to her interest that the down
trodden Poles should De free, and when
Germany finds anything likely to rebound
to her interest she is especially benevo-
lent Ii Poland secures her liberty it
will matter little to her whether the selfish
aims of Germany are grstifed or not. 1t
is not improbable that the German empire
may find itself involved in a war with the
Russian empire before many months, in
which case Poland will be trampled under
foot by the tread of hostile armies. But
no matter. "Freedom shrieked" when one
of her leaders fell, and it may be that
freedom will soon have the pleasure Of
shouting for Joy. American sympathy
will go out to the unfortunate land in her
struggle for liberty no matter whom she
fights.

THE KNIGHTS AND THE TELE-
GRAPH.

The Knights of Labor in their session
at Minneapolis have emphasized their de-
sire for governmental control of the tele
graph, and the Leading papers Of the cour.
try are filed with discussions of the sub
jeCt pro and con. The New York Herald
is not willing to go as far as the Knights,
but calls for regulation OF. rates which
Will give uniform price to the country,
as in the case of the postal service. The
facts are clearly set forth that what are
known SIS the metropolitan papers can Sc
cure rates on telegraphy which practical.
ly shuts out all interior journals and
gives these favored metrOpolitans mo-
nopoly of the news service. The position
taken by the Herald will doubtless be as
sumed in time by the statesmen OF
the country. There is no demand for
that species of psternalism favored by the
Knights which must result from govern
mental control, and there is no desire on
the part of the country to submit to ex-
tortlonate charges from the telegraph
monopoly. II the telegraph company
permits its greed to get the better OF its
prudence and proceeds TO the raising of
rates where no opposition exists, it will
simply invite unfriendly legislation and
draw down upon itself the just conse-
quences of its own cupidity. If, on the
other hand, the charges are made reason
able and no disposition to become OPP
pressive is manifested, there will not
likely be any legislative interference in
terposed. The telegraph company has
its fate in it's own hands,
and can either secure immunity from
interference or hasten the day of reckon
ing. From an economic standpoint the
fewer competing lines there are the better
for the public. There is no necessity for
supporting a number Of telegraph systems
when one can perform the duties as we'll.
There is scarcely an Office in the country
which, with slight increase of working
force, cannot handle with expedition all
the business of the country, thus saving
untold sums now being paid out in rents,
repairs, construction and salaries by COM
peting lines. Monopoly is only concen-
ration of force which gives not only
greater efficiency but cheapness, and
10 long as it is kept within reasonable
pounds and does not lose sight Of the
interests of the country no one will
object. Let but the Western Union show
he cloVen foot, however, and it's days
ire numbered as an all powerful or
sanizatton. The people once aroused,
will see to it that its talons are clipped
Ind it's powers of eXtortion reduced.
The leading spirits in this gigantic enter
orise are possessed of keen business
Iense, and they will not rush unwisely
o their own destruction. They will be
'ery careful to win and retain public
and by forbearsnce and
moderation, prevent the necessity of any
with their business.

his punishment bravely, and seemed none

He succeeded in collecting large sums,
which he spent in Gems OF iniamY. The
poor girl he assaulted is the daughter of

1t Is curious coincidence that the last
three men who were logged have all died.

He was the only man who seemed unable

be of use in supplying material in years

should be made surely. Trees do
not grow to a size sufficiently large
